Thoughts On The Breakup
After revisiting these thoughts from eight months ago, which actually holds up pretty well (even the comments), here are some current ones on the Aggies' backdoor escape to the SEC. Is it a divorce or a dissolved business partnership? I think it’s more the latter, although people are...
The BOMC
bigleadsports ran an interesting article yesterday. The premise is that LHN will impact how the media reports on Texas athletics. Read past the suggestion of media being credible, and there are several interesting points. Here’s the crux of the story: In making itself synonymous with Texas, ESPN...
Sneak Peek at The Longhorn Network Studios
It's dress rehearsal time at Bristol's new south campus located off I-35, where hordes of Aggies continue to goose step march in organized protest. Or maybe that was the line for Franklin BBQ. Deloss Dodds, Chris Plonsky and some ESPN suits. I know many of you were disappointed when Pam Ward...

ESPN's Top College Football Recruiters of the Year
Here is the list. Um, what? I thought we were working with ESPN. This past season the Texas Longhorns managed to defecate all over every bed in the house, lost their charismatic HCIW and basically pink slipped the entire staff. In the wake of this Grand Guignol they managed to land a Top 5 class...
Time Warner Cable Wants In On UT Channel
Time Warner Cable, already a corporate sponsor with UT Athletics, apparently is willing to give the new UT channel wide distribution in return for as much as a 20% ownership stake in the network. TWC is the major cable distributor in the state, with over 2 million customers. There are almost 8...
